Reiki is a hands on energy modality that is used to increase relaxation and enhance well being. It originates in Japan. Mikao Usui helped to bring this unique treatment technique / art to the west.

Receiving Reiki from a practitioner is a simple process.

You remain fully clothed throughout the Reiki session. When you are on the treatment table, the practitioner will gently lay their hands on your body in a series of hand positions from your head to your feet. The room is quiet with soft music playing. You may prefer to have no music. The temperature is comfortable. During the treatment, energy (called “chi”) is drawn to you through the practitioner’s hands, helping to produce a state of  balance. You may experience deep relaxation, some tingling, a sense of warmth or you may feel like you are floating.

A Reiki treatment will bring a sense of calm and peacefulness; this certainly can happen after only one treatment.

However, the best results come from having a series of weekly treatments during a period of 4 to 6 weeks.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced “Ray-key”) is a simple energy-balancing method. 

Reiki is a relaxation process that can contribute to self-healing as well as personal growth and development.

Where is it from?

Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s in Japan.  He created a simple self-healing and spiritual development system that anyone could use.

In doing so, he drew on many ancient Japanese practices. Today, people practice Reiki in most countries in the world.

Taking Reiki Classes for yourself:

It is a wonderful relaxing process that will leave you feeling content, comforted and at  peace with yourself and the world. Reiki is simple to learn. It is taught  at three levels: First Degree, Second Degree and Master level. 

First Degree: introduces you to working with and experiencing energy. You can learn how to work on yourself so that you can develop your ability and balance your energy system over time. You will also learn how to pass on the benefits of Reiki to others, using a simple hands-on treatment system.

Second Degree is taken a few months after First Degree, to give an opportunity to work on yourself and get the hang of the basics before moving on. You learn some advanced methods that you can use to enhance your treatments and you learn how to carry out distant healing as well.

There are two Reiki Masters at Health Within Holistic Centre. They offer classes every other month in Reiki I and II. Reiki Master Level classes are also taught when there are a few people interested in going on to this level. Check out the EVENTS CALENDAR for more information on classes.
